This is the ’17 GMC Sierra Denali HD 3500 caught testing in the Rockies.

The HD trucks will adopt a look similar to the ones introduced on the 1500s for 2016, complete with a taller and bolder front end and a new hood scoop that reveals the pickup is equipped with the latest version of the current 6.6L V8 turbodiesel. It will be comprehensively modified to unseat the Ford Super Duty in efficiency and hauling capacities, pushing...

This is the ’18 Ford F-150, caught on the road showing off its new face before its expected NAIAS debut.

The best-selling vehicle will get some cosmetic changes to keep it fresh and visually interesting as its tech gets updated underneath. The front end emulates the Super Duty two-bar design, but adds some softer design cues. The tailgate also gets a redesign, with a new handle and a more...

This is the Chevy Silverado HD, featuring the latest Duramax diesel engine, caught cold weather testing in Michigan. GM is expected to give the Duramax diesel in the HD Silverado and Sierra trucks a revamp in order to keep power and efficiency competitive with the latest HD trucks from Ford and Ram, as well as the Nissan Titan XD.

Reports suggest the current 6.6L V8 unit will be thoroughly worked over to...

It’s the first time we've seen the new Ford Super Duty configured with a SuperCab and Dually setup, with the full four-door cabs the only ones to be officially unveiled ahead of their 2016 on-sale date.

Lariat also serves as the middle of the range, below the lavish King Ranch and Platinum models and higher than work-truck versions. This truck is interesting, however,...

This is the new Ford Super Duty F-450 single-cab chassis cab. The basis of future heavy-duty work trucks as Ford leads the segment, the new F-450 will share many of the upgrades given to the F-250 and F-350 four-door trucks that were recently unveiled for a 2016 release.

Like the other Super Duty models, the F-450 single cab should be similar in design to the F-150, but with the Super Duty’s front end and more aggressive...

These shots of the '17 Sierra and Silverado 3500 HD Dually were snapped while the truck was on a test run in Metro Detroit. The heavy-duty pickups will be updated shortly after the release of the '16 Silverado and Sierra 1500 models. Versions of the trucks feature revised exterior styling, with features—LED running lights and revised grilles—lifted from some passenger car models.

The shooters at KGP Photography caught a convoy of heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado (top) and GMC Sierra (bottom) prototypes on the open roads, providing the best look yet at the rugged remakes of the crew-cab versions of the standard and dualie trucks due in 2016. The goal must certainly be to bump the current 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel's horsepower, torque and towing capacity to counter Ford's recently upgraded 6.7L...

The shooters at KGP Photography have some new shots of GM's facelifted fullsize pickups, with prototypes for the Silverado and Sierra caught running on the streets of Milford, Michigan. Sources suggest that the redesign will provide a little more differentiation since the current trucks were criticized for looking too similar to the prior-generation models. There may also be some cues to tie the fullsize trucks to the new...

The shooters at KGP Photography have conclusive proof that Ford is doubling down on its aluminum trucks, going the F-150 route on its all-new ’17 Super Duty pickups.

Will It Magnet?

A slew of Super Duty prototypes have been testing in the Rocky Mountains, and an F-350 Dually pulling a fifth wheel parked for the day, leaving its truck bed uncovered and exposed. The shooters decided that it was time to...

Ford has begun testing prototypes for its next-generation Super Duty trucks, and the shooters at KGP Photography have the first shots to prove it. The massive pickup prototypes are thoroughly covered in camouflage, for what appears to be their most significant overhaul in a very long time.

Aluminum Or Steel?

These prototypes have actually appeared sooner than many analyst sources had expected, suggesting that Ford...

The shooters at KGP Photography have some new shots of Chevy's next-generation HD Silverado running as a single-cab, chassis cab. GM has unveiled their HD trucks, but only in the crew-cab pickup variation. These spy shots show the differing cab design, with a flat-bed attached to carry the heavy weights applied for testing purposes.]]>Spy Shots—GM's HD Pickups Caught Running Less DisguisedThu, 01 Aug 2013 19:59:06 +0000https://towrig.com/forums/threads/spy-shots%E2%80%94gms-hd-pickups-caught-running-less-disguised.6664/

The shooters at KGP Photography just got their best look yet at GM's new heavy-duty pickups, thanks to this convoy of lightly disguised test trucks. The heavy vinyl camouflage that previously covered every inch of GM's prior HD pickup prototypes is now gone, in favor of body-hugging graphic camouflage. Only the front fascia utilizes a vinyl bra covering.

The shooters at KGP Photography caught a Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype sporting some serious, big-barreled smoke stacks. The 'stacks are clearly functional, as the cool, moist air has resulted in lots of smoke billowing out. It's unclear what to make of this one, as its not your traditional factory exhaust treatment. The shooters have seen this prototype making several test runs throughout the Dearborn, Michigan, area, and it has...

The shooters at KGP Photography have gotten a good look at a prototype for Chevrolet's Silverado 2500 HD, caught taking a test run outside of the company's Proving Ground. It appears that much of the design language from the Silverado 1500 will migrate into the HD's styling, but a new grille treatment is clearly in the works. It also appears that the Silverado HD will gain the impression of greater brawn by ditching the...

The shooters at KGP Photography grabbed their latest look at a massive prototype for Chevrolet's next-generation Silverado HD Crew Cab Chassis Cab. The new Chassis Cab, and the rest of upcoming revamped HD lineup, will incorporate the changes recently unveiled on the standard-duty Silverados, according to KGP. Additional focus has reportedly been put toward fuel economy while also searching for more power to compete with the the...
